Jane Marie Mazurczak: Banning those seeking refuge seems like a sad dream

In my dream I was in an open area like an airport. A woman walked by me with a baby in a stroller and I said, “what a pretty baby.” I asked her where she was from and she said “I can’t say, I don’t feel safe,” and she walked away. In my dream I felt sad, I felt a loss, I felt for her. I’m awake now and I still feel sad, I still feel the loss and I still feel for her.

Jane Marie Mazurczak, Salida
